Will TTS and STT benefit from the AI boom?
I was thinking about all the new booming AI applications and wondered how it will affect Text-to-Speech and Speech-to-Text. Personally I hope for better TTS than anything, and for a free one at that but API calls have a cost. Also wondering how TTS could affect the Audiobook market if it became good enough.
